One of my T.blondi juvis has all of its legs stuck in its exuvium.
I noticed Monday that it was flipped over and starting its molt but by Tuesday night it had still not broken thru its old skin. Wednesday afternoon I noticed it had popped the top off the carapace so I assumed all was well. This morning I checked on it and it still was basically in the same position. I checked to see if it was still alive and it was. I then removed pieces of the exuvium around its book lungs and took some room temp water and dabbed all legs with a tiny paintbrush hoping to loosen things up.
I just got home and it's still alive but hasn't made any progress.
What else can I do?
